herchammer Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm just getting started in smithing in general, and have never done any blades. That is a goal of mine, down the road. My question is: have any of you ever done a knife along the lines of the Sikes Fairbairn commando dagger? I love the lines on that blade, and the diamond cross-section looks like it would make it a challenge to forge. Just a question out of curiosity; hope it doesn't muddy the water here in this forum. With much respect, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The knife appears to be rather straight forward. SYKES-FAIRBAIRN KNIFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Double edged knives are rather common in the custom world and in fact IIRC forging one is part of the ABS test sequence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
